I had a '79 malibu Landau in high school that had a 2.29:1 gears. That's right. 2.29:1. When I bought it, the 267 v-8 was dying so I dropped the 283 in it from my '64 Impala that was very well built (forged pistons, shotpeened rods w/ARP bolts, balanced, better springs, ect) and with a 3" stroke it would turn 6,500 rpm easy. While it wouldn't drop any jaws when launched, that thing would absolutely fly in first gear--75 MPH easy. :-)
It's a different feeling in my '69 with the 3.23's, as I keep waiting for another upshift to occur. :-) Happy thanksgiving, guys!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
